Chapter 969 - Miss Goodman (1)
As promised, the next day, Jian Yiling accompanied Zhai Yunsheng to work.
After they arrived at the company, Zhai Yunsheng's male secretary came over to tell Zhai Yunsheng that Miss Goodman was already in the living room. Miss Goodman had previously made an appointment with Zhai Yunsheng.
Miss Goodman was here as a representative of the Goodman family.
Roughly a week ago, she made this appointment to see Zhai Yunsheng.
As the Goodman family was a rich and powerful family whose influence across the world could potentially be greater than the Zhai family, Zhai Yunsheng's secretary asked for Zhai Yunsheng's opinion before he arranged for the meeting.
Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling to go with him to the living room.
"Why?" Jian Yiling asked. Her face had doubt written all over it.
"Because the other person is a woman."
"It's fine," Jian Yiling replied.
It was okay for her fiance to meet another young woman.
After all, Zhai Yunsheng was managing an entire company. He had to face all kinds of people. Therefore, it was normal for him to meet another young woman.
"I want you to go with me!"
Typically, other men hated their girlfriends or fiancees when they were too controlling. However, Zhai Yunsheng wanted Jian Yiling to control him more.
"Alright," Jian Yiling replied.
Zhai Yunsheng took a deep breath.
Then, he went to the living room with Jian Yiling.
As soon as they entered the living room, Jian Yiling saw a western beauty. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.
The woman's skin was fair.
Her facial features were delicate and exquisite.
In addition, she had long and wavy blonde hair and wore a custom-designed dress. Although she wasn't wearing many jewels, the look she gave off was incredibly aristocratic.
The dress stopped five centimeters above her knee. As a result, one could see the woman's shapely and long legs.
The pair of high heels the woman was wearing was inlaid with countless small diamonds.
Although she was just sitting there, it was evident that the woman was from a noble family.
There were three to five male attendants that stood behind the woman. They were tall and had a typical Westerner's appearance.
When she saw Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling, the woman smiled.
"Master Sheng, we finally got to meet each other," the woman said. She spoke in fluent Chinese.
"Do we know each other?"
"We've known each other for many years."
"With all due respect, I don't remember you."
"That's because this is the first time we've met offline."
The woman took out her phone and opened an app that was used for communication for members that were part of the Eddington Mathematical Association.
Her profile picture was a golden symbol.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw this, he frowned for a moment.
Jaimie.
She was a friend he had known for many years.
As her name was Jaimie, many members of the Eddington Mathematical Association assumed that she was a man. Zhai Yunsheng was no exception to this.
In the past, Zhai Yunsheng often stayed up all night to solve mathematical problems with her.
Back then, Zhai Yunsheng merely used difficult mathematical problems to entertain himself. He was not interested in knowing whether the other person accompanying him was male or female. Furthermore, he was not interested in learning about the other person's identity.
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm name is Lucy Goodman."
The woman held her hand out to shake hands with Zhai Yunsheng.
However, Zhai Yunsheng merely looked at her. It appeared as though he had no intentions to shake her hand.
"Are you just here to see me in person?"
Zhai Yunsheng's voice was incredibly flat. It was as though he was not excited to meet an old friend or acquaintance.
"Well, I came to Beijing to deal with some business matters. I just so happened to learn that the Zhai family was in a bit of trouble. Therefore, I came over to see if there was anything I could help with," Lucy explained.
"I've already answered you.. I don't need any help."
